Spires of Xin Shalast - Epilogue
Following the defeat of Karzoug, the surviving giants shake off the rune giant's domination and fall to brutal infighting. Working alongside the heroes, the yeti and the dryads are able to rout their mutual foes.
Karack Goblinfriend decides to stay in Xin Shalast and mediate a lasting peace between the yeti and the dryads. He later returns to Varisia to report to his superiors at Windsong Abbey, warning them of the catastrophe so narrowly avoided by the death of the re-awoken Runelord. If Karzoug survived Earthfall, it is possible that one or more of the other six Runelords have managed to survive, in some fashion. Karack is tasked with investigating this worrisome probability. Before he embarks on this new quest, Karack returns to Sandpoint to spend time with the friends he has made over the last few years.
